At Terry Lenamon on the Death Penalty there is a nice round-up of source documents in Weis v. Georgia, the case that Renee posted about yesterday and which was the subject of an Adam Liptak article in the New York Times.  Upon digging into the source documents, one of the interesting issues is the degree to which an accused does or does not have a right, constitutional or otherwise, to continuity of counsel.  According to the cert petition, some jurisdictions give that right little weight, and certainly not constitutional weight.
